Any seat will fit if you make up a sub frame.
A lot of buses seam to have 120y seats for some unknown reason???

the seats are not original they are after market but the back lumber support is to hard and sits out and well it makes driving not enjoyable

Have them rebuilt by upholsterer or fit 77 onwards which go straight in and are much more comfortable.
Have fitted VS Commodore but unless you are 6' tall you won't reach pedals- Volvos fit but have similar problems.

If you can find seats from a T3 kombi they slide right in on the drivers side, keeping it genuine. They are pretty firm and have a low base so you can reach the pedals.
are we there yet?
